French lesson

From Mr W. D. Stewart

From Mr W. D. Stewart

Sir, Having recently returned from an excellent holiday in France, I wonder why, in British restaurants, we cannot have a waiter who brings a credit card machine to your table? It is efficiently dealt with and, what’s more, we never lose sight of our credit card.

Yours faithfully,

W. D. STEWART,

32 Brackenfield, Gosforth,

Newcastle upon Tyne NE3 4DY.
